Private Music Instruction
The academy is structured in 8-week sessions. Our focus is small groups and ensembles, though we do
provide some private lessons as well. If you are interested in a private lesson, please email the instructor below to gain more information on their studio availability and requirements. Your private teacher will explain the registration process.
Students enrolled in the Music Academy receive much more than a weekly lesson. All students are actively encouraged to expand their musical horizons by participating in as many Academy and community experiences as possible, many of which are completely free of charge. Private Instruction Fee(s) at the Music Academy includes:
Weekly private lesson
Access to a faculty of carefully selected professional musicians and educators
Evaluation at the end of each 8 week session
Recital opportunities
Community service performances
A place to meet and make friends with other music students in a supportive environment
For more information, questions, and to register for individual lessons please email the chosen instructor below.
Student registration forms and payment links will be EMAILED to each student before the start or every 8-week session.
